Oh, ok. Alright. So I haven’t written a post in, like, forever. So sue me. (Don’t you love people who use defensive language and posturing to cover up overwhelming feelings of guilt and inadequacy?)

I have reasons. I have excuses. Most of them valid. Really.

There was the small matter of a part-time job I started in ’09. And the not-so-small matter of the voluminous amounts of volunteer work I dove into for Babyzilla’s school. The volunteer work felt like a full-time job and made my part-time job seem like volunteer work. Somehow in all of that I managed to do some good and make some money.

What is the picture like in my mad, mad whirl now? Much the same. Same kid, same house, same husband. Babyzilla is now eight years old and, for all intents and purposes, has shed his green skin. He still breathes fire once in a while. Hubby still wears glasses and still does mysterious things with power tools. Sadly, The Laziest Dog On the Planet passed away in 2011. (May he be resting on the fluffiest bed in the sky.) His successor is a little Dachshund mix who’s almost as lazy but not nearly as smart. What he lacks in intelligence, he makes up for in waggly-tailed optimism (except for when he gets that huffy, “something smells bad” look on his face).

So, now that Babyzilla is older and not nearly as incendiary, what will I write about in lieu of kvetching about parenthood? Ok, that was a joke. THERE’S ALWAYS ROOM FOR KVETCHING ABOUT PARENTHOOD!

I have upped my game in the cooking/baking arena the past few years, so perhaps there will be more posts with cakes and other delectables. Maybe a few more poems? And wine recs. Always the wine recs! (Nope, the boozing hasn’t changed either, except maybe with even more of a veer toward quality over quantity…. Most of the time, anyway!)

This is cool. This is ‘Phoenix rising from the ashes’ type stuff. Viva la Resurrection!
